The Gallatin School of Individualized Study at New York University (NYU) invites applications for the tenure-track position of Assistant Professor of Psychology to commence September 1, 2025.

We are interested in scholars who study the human mind, behavior, emotion, and relationality in ways that incorporate multiple disciplines, methods, and modalities. The successful candidate will be expected to teach courses that encourage students to critically engage with the historical, sociocultural, political and geographic contexts of the field of psychology, both its theories and its clinical and institutional practices.

NYU Gallatin emphasizes excellent teaching, top level faculty research, intensive student advising and mentoring, and a unique combination of program flexibility and academic rigor. Its innovative B.A. and M.A. programs in individualized study encourage students to develop an integrated, interdisciplinary program of study that combines courses taken in the various schools of NYU with independent studies, internships, and Gallatin’s own interdisciplinary seminars, writing courses and arts workshops.

Founded in 1972, NYU Gallatin is a liberal arts college of 1,600 undergraduate students and 160 graduate students that are part of New York University. To learn more about the Gallatin School, please visit our website at gallatin.nyu.edu.

In compliance with NYC’s Pay Transparency Act, the annual base salary range for this position is $75,000 - $95,000. New York University considers factors such as (but not limited to) scope and responsibilities of the position, candidate’s work experience, education/training, key skills, internal peer equity, as well as market and organizational considerations when extending an offer.
